The images below of Saturn during the occultation were all taken using my 6" telescope and eyepiece projection to a video camera. The resulting images were then digitized (again!) from the camera to the computer in 16 bits resolution. A lot of detail is lost, but you can imagine how it looked through the eyepiece. These are the raw images. Stacking and other enhancement techniques remain to be tried.
